Vita Console And Memory Prices Cut Online

Cheap as chips.

As announced earlier this week, the prices of PlayStation Vita and its proprietary memory cards have started to fall – at certain retailers at least.

If you’re looking to pick up Sony’s handheld before the launch of the PS4 this November 29th, both Amazon and GAME have reduced Vita hardware, with the latter currently offering a 3G enabled console, alongside an 8GB memory card & the rather glorious Killzone Mercenary, all for £169.99 – or less if you use a bit of internet savvy and discount codes.

Killzone Mercenary is currently in open Beta for PlayStation Plus subscribers and is certainly looking like it will deliver a “proper FPS” to the handheld when it’s released in September. If shooters aren’t your thing, however, there’s the original “Mega Pack” bundle for the same price, which includes a good selection of 10 smaller games, or there’s a Vita and the recent Need For Speed game for just £10 more – although both these deals include a Wifi only console.

Perhaps you already have a Vita, and are excited about all those new indies PlayStation are bringing to next-gen? Well, thankfully, you’ve not been forgotten either – the price of Vita’s memory cards have been cut too, with a 32GB – now a far more reasonable £39.99 at Amazon, a discount of some 30%.

So, to those who’ve yet to grab Sony’s glorious handheld, with all those new games on the horizon, and with rumours of a redesign seemingly unfounded, now’s as good a time as ever, don’t you think?

I swap between an 8 and 32 with no problems. I does a small update each time but only takes a few seconds. also can make your game icons seem messy when you swap about if you care about that sort of thing

I got the Wifi model from Zavvi the other day for £140, and a 16GB from Amazon for £30. 16GB will last me alot of time, so I’ll get a 32GB much further down the line, after they’ve inevitably been cut again.

Couldn’t stand putting up with a 8GB card, so 16 is just right for me. Also don’t need 3G for a variety of reasons, one being that I can use my phone as a hotspot anywhere I am, and not pay extra for the Vita and its 3G.

I had been looking at one for ages and I went for the exact package you guys have highlighted from game just yesterday. Great price especially if u do use a code that was featured at hotukdeals to get extra £10 off which I found all too tempting to hold off purchasing one for any longer. Can’t wait to get it and with ps plus the vita should have a steady flow of games even without having to buy many games for it was my thinking anyway, oh and of course to use with ps4 when it comes out.

That is a decent deal for the 3G bundle, although I thought most retailers were reluctant to stock the Voda-Vita model these days given that sales were a bit lacklustre.
Noticed that one of Amazons Marketplace traders (new starter) was selling said model for £129.99 (no bundle). Always risky and caution being key with a new starter trader, but nice price nevertheless.

I’m inevitably going to purchase a Vita once PS4 launches, just for all the PS+ games I’ve got in the download list. Can anyone explain the 3G model for me… Does it have to be set-up with vodafone? What sort of extra costs are involved?

It doesn’t have to be with Vodafone (it comes with a bundled Vodafone SIM but it’s unlocked so can take any SIM card), any extra costs are whatever you pay to whichever network for data, either pre-pay or bill pay, your choice.
